UK retail sales increased at a faster pace than expected last month, numbers on Friday showed. According to the Office for National Statistics, UK retail sales volumes surged 2.9% in May from April, topping the FXStreet cited consensus of a 1.5% rise.

Sales had declined 1.8% in April from March. April's outcome was upwardly revised from an initially-reported 2.3% decline. On May's reading, the ONS said: "Sales volumes rose across most sectors, with clothing retailers and furniture stores rebounding following poor weather in April.

More broadly, sales volumes rose by 1.0% in the three months to May 2024 when compared with the previous three months. However, they fell by 0.2% when compared with the three months to May 2023."

Year-on-year, retail sales rose 1.3% in May, defying expectations of a 0.9% decline, and improving markedly from a 2.3% slide in April.

M&S reveals progress on Plan A strategy

LONDON – British retailer Marks and Spencer (M&S) has published a new ESG report revealing the company's progress on its 'Plan A' sustainability strategy.

It claims to have reduced emissions in its own operations by 33% since its base year of 2017 - however, the overwhelming majority of its emissions - 94% - are in Scope 3 where emissions are up from 5 million tonnes CO2e in 2017 to 5.2 million tonnes CO2e last year.

New £4m M&S food hall to open later this year


he company said the site, at Three Lakes Retail Park on Bawtry Road, was expected to open in the autumn.

The development comes as part of the firm's plans to reduce the number of "full-line" stores, increase its number of grocery outlets and relocate some stores out of town centres.

The programme has seen city centre M&S sites in both Bradford and Barnsley close.

The retailer has previously said it wanted fewer but better main stores, as shoppers spend more online, as well as to expand its food business.

Speaking about the food hall in Selby, the firm said it would build on more than £20m it had invested in its stores across Yorkshire in the last financial year.
